Item Name:
Moretti Frit - Striking Red - Large
SKU:
1556076FL
Description:
This is large size frit made from Moretti striking red soft glass, produced by crushing compatible rod or cullet into coarse granules for lampworking and kilnforming color application. Large frit gives you bold, broken color coverage with visible grain and texture, making it ideal when you want a more organic surface than powder or fine frit can provide. Striking red colors are commonly chosen when you want reds that develop through heatwork, so this frit is especially useful for surface decoration, layered effects, and controlled color development on beads and small soft-glass components.
How it is used:
- Roll a warm bead or gather across a frit pad to pick up large grains, then melt in gently to control how much texture remains on the surface.
- Apply in stages for even coverage, heating between passes so the frit seats into the base glass without trapping excessive air.
- Use as a spot accent on raised dots, scrollwork, or sculptural bead details where you want concentrated red color with a textured edge.
- Encapsulate under a layer of clear to create depth and a suspended, speckled look while smoothing the final surface.
